The owner of this banana field. The owner of this banana field is the one mentioned above, that is Kahuoi. This man came from Hawaii, and he left there because he could not agree with his parents, Kauahua and Heana. Kauahua was the father and Heana was the mother. Why he did not agree with his parents was because this boy was lazy and would not do any cultivating. The father continually urged the child to go to work, but he would not heed any instructions the father gave him; therefore the father concluded to send his son away from home. When the son was sent away he went down to the beach and saw a canoe ready for departure. He asked the man on the canoe: “Where is the canoe going?” Kilua answered: “The canoe is going to Maui.” Kahuoi said: “Please allow me to go with you?” The man consented. They sailed until they came to the observation point of land for ulua. Alau is the name of this point. On their arrival there, Kahuoi asked Kilua: “Say, how is the canoe to be headed?” Kilua answered: “Head the canoe for Hamoa.”73 Kahuoi changed to the bailing place74 and Kilua took up the paddle.75 While they were paddling along, a large wave sprang up behind them, and Kahuoi called out to Kilua: “Say, Kilua, keep the canoe on the crest,” and they raced along until they arrived in the harbor above mentioned. Kahuoi then went and lived at Keakamanu;76 and because he could not get enough to eat he kept wandering on until he found a favorable place, right above Waiohonu;77 while living there it entered his mind to plant bananas for himself, because he had noticed bananas growing about, and that is the banana field which we are hearing of.
